Abstract

Avocados are plants that can grow well in tropical environments like Indonesia. People love this fruit because of its high antioxidant content and its delicious taste. The aim of this study was to measure the antioxidant activity of three extracts of ethyl acetate of avocado seeds (Percea americana Mill.) using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging method. The measurement was done using a quersetin as a reference standard with a maximum wavelength of 516 nm. The results of the study showed that the sample's half inhibitory concentration (IC50) value was 1,653.89 g/mL, 1,202.56 g/ mL, and 903.08 g/mL for two, four, and six hours, respectively.

Abstract

Red fruit (Pandanus conoideus Lam) belongs to the pandanacea family. This plant contains compounds such as tannins, flavonoids, steroids, triterpenoids and alkaloids and has properties in curing various diseases such as diabetes, coronary heart disease, hypertension, cancer and HIV/AIDS. This study aims to determine the total flavonoid content of red fruit juice (Pandanus conoideus Lam) using a UV - Vis spectrophotometer. The stages carried out in this research began with sample preparation, qualitative testing of flavonoid compounds and determining the total flavonoid content of red fruit (Pandanus conoideus Lam) samples. The results obtained in this study based on a qualitative test using NaOH reagent stated that red fruit juice (Pandanus conoideus Lam) was positive for containing flavonoids and in a quantitative test using a UV - Vis spectrophotometer the percent concentration obtained in the red fruit juice sample was 8.7258%.

Abstract

Adolescents are in a development stage characterized by identity exploration and are often easily influenced by lifestyle trends, including cosmetic use. However, many teenagers still have limited awareness regarding the safety of ingredients used in commercial cosmetic products, which may potentially cause adverse effects on skin health. On the other hand, natural-based body care products are increasingly preferred due to their perceived safety and environmental friendliness. This community engagement program aimed to improve the knowledge and practical skills of SMPIT Al-Fikri Makassar students in selecting safe cosmetics and producing natural body care products, namely deodorant spray, deodorant stick, and lip balm. A total of 138 students participated in the program, while evaluation was conducted on 30 representative respondents selected purposively from each class. The program applied the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach by optimizing locally available natural resources. The implementation stages included socialization, education on safe, natural, and healthy cosmetics, product-making workshops, and evaluation using pre-test and post-tests methods. The results showed that the participants’ knowledge increased from 45-53% (pre-test) to 85-90% (post-test). Practical skills in product preparation also improved from 40-45% (pre-test) to 87-90% (post-test). These findings indicate that practice-based training is effective in enhancing cosmetic literacy and empowering adolescents to produce safe and eco-friendly natural body care products. Then, we hope that SMPIT Al-Fikri Makassar students will be able to apply the knowledge and skills gained to make informed choices and adopt healthy practices in their daily lives.
